Building Bridges to Innovation

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

Any use of this material without specific permission of McKinsey & Company

is strictly prohibited

Shanghai, November 13-14, 2018

2McKinsey & Company

5 years ago we introduced the concept of “Bridges to

Innovation” for the China pharma industry

Broken bridgeNarrow bridgeBroad bridge1 2 3

▪ Mature drugs have lasting

staying power and continue to

grow beyond 2020

▪ China delivers meaningful and

broad step-up to reward of

innovation

▪ Mature drugs have staying

power, but come under

stronger pressure and plateau

beyond 2020

▪ China delivers meaningful but

narrow reward for innovation,

closely aligned with disease

priorities

▪ Window for mature drugs

starts closing rapidly by 2020,

earlier for some drug

categories

▪ Innovation remains heavily

constrained

▪ Self-pay market becomes

main viable segment

▪ Each potential scenario will have profound implications on market outlook and

attractiveness for participants

▪ It will take some time before we know for sure which bridge we are walking on

3McKinsey & Company

As of 2018, we are increasingly confident to say that we are progressing

on the ”narrow bridge”

Broken bridgeNarrow bridgeBroad bridge1 2 3

Uptake of innovation starting to

accelerate and showing signs of

pivot towards “broad bridge”

Mature products come under much

stronger pressure in the coming

few years - “reckoning time”?

Pace of new drug registration and regulatory authority reform not interrupted

by recent organizational changes; long term impact remains to be seen

(The NMPA) reform used

to proceed at a very fast,

even radical pace. After all

these events, we do not see

the reform going backward.

Instead, we believe it will

continue to take place, but in

a more steady and

thoughtful way. We are quite

positive on that”

Current 4+7 policy will push MNCs

out of the market, which will be

detrimental for China pharma

Speed of innovation continues to

increases due to sustained NMPA reform

Access will continue to improve, though

shadowed by increasing price pressure

It’s the right time for innovative drugs

to enter China with improvement and

globalization of registration process

and patent protection

Access will improve, especially for

innovative drugs, but price pressure will

also increase with reimbursement

negotiation. Given China’s scale in the

global market, China prices will also

have global implications

Innovation could be commoditized due

to reimbursement price cut. Price cut

does not have a good basis now, but

we have Taiwan, Korea as reference

countries. In a few years, China will be

wave 1 launch country without

reference price

Innovation will remain as the priority

for NMPA reform, and we expect

broadening of reform area to further

support innovation

Top of mind questions for China biotech CEOs

▪ How to ensure high

quality in clinical

development while

progressing multiple trials

at rapid pace?

▪ How quickly will

reimbursement policies

evolve to properly reward

innovation? What types of

innovative therapies will

get reimbursed?

▪ What is the solution to

find quality talent to

sufficiently support

demand in clinical

development and

commercialization?

▪ How to create sustainable

differentiation? Will it

come from shift towards

FIC/BIC assets,

differentiated clinical

strategy or creative

commercial model?

63McKinsey & Company

The industry is experiencing a significant talent shortage that is expected to

persist in next 2-3 years, and calls for industry-wide solution

Number of TA physicians

SOURCE: Expert interviews

We have seen that the salaries of TA physicians and

clinical operations have increased faster than other

functions in China pharma industry in recent 2 years…

around 25-40% of salary increase when moving to the

next position with the same title

– HR of leading China based-biotechs

Potential solutions

▪ Bringing oversea TA physicians

with experience and know-how

– Potential challenges include

language barrier and

interaction with local KOLs

▪ Accelerate training of local

talent

– For example, companies can

provide rigorous training

curriculum on clinical trial

practice, and rotation talents

across trial phases to build

individual capability

▪ Industry-wide training program

– In collaboration with academic

institutions (e.g., Shenyang

Pharmaceutical University and

China Pharmaceutical

University)

Looking into the crystal ball – what is the 3-5 year future of China biotech

industry?

Positive momentum continues: Expect significant progress on the

overall innovation level, yet still with major gap compared to the US

Emerging global presence: A handful of companies and

assets will reach global stage

Market will tell: Market will be the gold standard for biotech pioneers and

the China innovation model (step wise approach, license in arbitrage,

etc.) as part of building a healthy industry

Funding cycle expected: Investment will likely be more

cautious before a bounce back as we witness the failures

and success of early pipelines

65McKinsey & Company

Looking into the crystal ball – food for thoughts for China biotechs

Double-down in

In this context of evolving access environment, two key questions for the

Do we believe 2019 will be the year of the

“reckoning” for mature brands given

convergence of new procurement rules,

pricing pressure and GQCE roll-out?

Do we believe that access is expanding fast

Leading local companies and other MNCs alike have concerns over

centralized “4+7” pilot policy, especially on quality and volume of supply

SOURCE: Press search, team analysis, expert interview

Announced purchasing rules in “4+7” cities:

– Purchasing volume guaranteed for the drug with lowest

bidding price among molecules that passed GQCE. Volume

proposed by each city is estimated based on 60-70% of last

year’s total volume

– Official reimbursement policy to be published, with the

potential to set final bidding price as reimbursement price

– 31 products selected for first batch

2

Gx substitution with reduced price is the right

direction and future trend; however, I am concerned

that companies passing QCE may not be able to

guarantee high-quality supply capacity

The current model will push MNCs out of the

market, which will be detrimental for China pharma

industry. I personally expect government to make

further adjustments along the way

85McKinsey & Company

Given this, we see 3 main strategic options at brand level for MNCs

▪ Compete on Quality AND Price

▪ Ramp up supply chain capacity

▪ Expand footprint with omni channel

▪ Be more selective on prioritized

provinces/cities/hospitals

▪ Adjust price but maintain healthy

premium

▪ Gradually ramp down investments

▪ In some cases, exit market given

profitability and growth outlook

▪ In others, find a local partner to

Lack of value

proposition

to attack and

▪ Urgent need to build

capabilities such as

▪ Shortage of talents

with deep

understanding of both

healthcare and DnA

▪ DnA talents are

struggling to find out

their value and career

paths in pharmacos

▪ Overall environment is

not empowering due to

industry conservatism

(e.g., stringent

compliance measures)

A battlefield for scarce talents with experience across healthcare/

technology; inflow of talents from other industries needed

▪ Proactively look for breakthroughs in

controllable areas such as regulatory,

▪ Creating training and accreditation

programs to develop “digital/

Digitalization emerging as an essential pillar for customer engagementHowever it has yet to fundamentally transform the industry and much more work is needed to get there

Fast emerging China innovation ecosystem With a wave of promising companies fueled by access to talents and access to capital, but still early in their development

Clear signs of acceleration in broadening of innovative drug access; much more is neededA “second-launch mindset” for optimizing commercial model is critical for companies to capture full value post reimbursement inclusion

2019 could be the “year of reckoning” for mature brandsSignificant impact expected from implementation of GQCE coupled with new tendering rules

We are on a narrow, but clearly broadening bridgeUptake of innovation starting to accelerate, while mature products will come under much stronger pressure in the coming few years 1
